So, 'Nikki and Alexander' from '89 is this quirky little comedy that dives into the unexpected bond between a typical New Yorker, Alexander, and a homeless Russian girl named Nikki. It’s got this offbeat charm that captures the chaotic energy of the city while also exploring themes of isolation and connection. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the film's unique vibe. The performances have a palpable sincerity, especially from the leads, who manage to bring depth to their characters. There’s a certain warmth in their interactions, making it feel genuine. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the story well, letting the characters shine more than any flashy effects could. It's definitely one of those hidden gems that feels like a slice of life in the late '80s.
